The most recent Bond car is now on display at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon.

The Aston Martin DB5, which appeared in the latest 007 blockbuster Skyfall alongside Daniel Craig as England’s No.1 secret agent, is privately owned but currently on loan to Eon, who produces the Bond films.

The model on display is the actual car used for most of the driving sequences in the film and joins the Land Rover Defender 110 double cab pick-up, driven in the opening sequence of Skyfall, which is also at the Heritage Motor Centre.

Although on display at the centre, the DB5 will be showcased at the Classic Motor Show on November 15, 16 and 17 at the NEC in Birmingham.

Ever since its first appearance in Goldfinger in 1964 with Sean Connery, the DB5 has become the archetypal 007 car.

The latest Aston Martin was not fitted with any of Q’s trademark gadgets, however visitors can see a black line on the roof as the outline of the panel for the ejector seat.
